International Collaboration on Undergraduate Psychology Outcomes
Welcome!
The aims of this International Collaboration on Undergraduate Psychology Outcomes (ICUPO) are to:
(a) produce an international foundational psychology competence model for the undergraduate level;
(b) encourage/support adaptation of the model to local, national, and regional contexts, with the model serving as guidance only; and
(c) seek support for the model from international and national psychology and other relevant organizations, and from psychology education leaders.

New article on the ICUP in the Eye on Psi Chi
Authors Valerie Sorrentino, psychology undergraduate student at Seton Hall University (USA), and Susan Nolan, co-founder of the ICUPO, published an article in the Eye on Psi Chi, 2025 Winter edition: “The International Competences for Undergraduate Psychology: A Checklist to Help Make the Most of Your Degree Program”. This article introduces the ICUP Model as a new tool that can improve the quality of psychology undergraduate education through a focus on the development of psychology-relevant values and skills, particularly cultural responsiveness and collaboration, that will be beneficial in a range of contexts. The authors encourage the use of the clickable International Competences Checklist as a resource to help students and educators to identify and reflect on their goals and achievements throughout their undergraduate psychology program.
